If you love Harry Potter, you will chance me.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Please chance me for Wake Forest and UNC-Chapel Hill.</p>

<p>GPA U/W: 3.64/4.39
Class Rank: 9 of 68
Difficulty: Honors, but only because my school does not have the manpower to offer AP. However, by the time I graduate, I'll have completed the requirements for an Associate in Arts from our local community college. I'm going to an "early college" high school in NC.
SAT I: 730 CR, 640 M, 680 W. This is a superscore of two attempts. I plan to retake the SAT, for the third time, in October. Any pointers for how I should study?
AP Exams: I challenged the AP Exam in Literature. If I don't get a 5, should I send the score?</p>

<p>ECs:</p>

<p>My school has no athletic program. Our grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is deemed best spent on providing free tuition, books, etc. for the students who took the initiative to commit to this program.</p>

<p>This past year, we've been able to start some clubs. I'm the president of our Interact Club, but with the student body being so small, we're limited. Our major accomplishments have been operating a successful blood drive, and participating in a "Child Abuse Prevention Activity Day."</p>

<p>This summer, I'm volunteering at the library.</p>

<p>For part of last year and a few months of this year, I worked part-time at KFC to lessen the financial burden I've placed on my dad's shoulders. I had to give this up when my grades were threatening to slip, but I plan to get another job this summer.</p>

<p>I'll be trying to begin a chapter of GSA at my school this fall.</p>

<p>Potential Recs:</p>

<p>My English teacher, who I've had for 3 of my 4 high school English classes, has promised to write me a great recommendation.</p>

<p>My Spanish teacher loves me, so she'll probably agree to write one, too.</p>

<p>I've had the same professor for two college-level philosophy courses, and he might be willing.</p>

<p>The librarian I've been helping will write me a recommendation.</p>

<p>Okay, so any criticisms, suggestions, etc. are welcome. If you can think of another school for which I'd be more suitable, then please let me know. Schools with great English programs would be preferable.</p>

<p>By the way, a little bit of profiling information about me: </p>

<p>Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Parent's Level of Education: Both hold Associate's degrees.
Income Level: ~$70,000 a year.</p>

<p>Can anyone help me out here?</p>

<p>First off, I’m a huge harry potter fan.
Second, I think you’re very likely to be accepted to both schools. Your SAT scores are well within range. Make sure you apply to one safety school. And why not apply to a few reaches? Middlebury, Tufts, and Duke could all be great fits for you. You’ll have to raise your SAT scores and GPA if you want to get into those schools. But once again, you’ll most likely be admitted to UNC and Wake Forest.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Since i’m only the 2nd person to respond, not many people love harry potter. :(</p>

<p>Definitely send that AP Lit score if your school accepts a 3 or 4. It’s notoriously known as one of the hardest AP’s to get a 5 in. And also, you’re in both places for sure. And ditto what decrescendo said, apply somewhere else more challenging. You should expect oodles of cash from wake forest and UNC. Maybe even try Vassar or Cornell if you’re really gutsy in applying.
good luck :)</p>
